The Cry of the 22nd Aethyr, Which is Called LIN[1]
22. "The 49-fold Table (First appearance of the Crowned and
Conquering Child to the Exempt Adept as in the Pastos)
The Vision of the Rose, the Heart of BABALON and of
The Birth of the Universe."
The planetary realm of the Ruach
There comes first into the stone the mysterious table of forty-nine
squares.[2] It is surrounded by an innumerable company of
angels; these angels are of all kinds, --- some brilliant and flashing as
gods, down to elemental creatures. The light comes and goes on the tablet;
and now it is steady, and I perceive that each letter of the tablet is
composed of forty-nine other letters, in a language which looks like that
of Honorius; but when I would read, the letter that I look at becomes
indistinct at once.
And now there comes an Angel, to hide the tablet with his mighty wing.
This Angel has all the colours mingled in his dress; his head is proud and
beautiful; his headdress is of silver and red and blue and gold and black,
like cascades of water, and in his left hand he has a pan-pipe of the seven
holy metals, upon which he plays.[3] I cannot tell you how wonderful
the music is, but it is so wonderful that one only lives in one's ears; one
cannot see anything any more.
